I've been here for a year now and feel so confident and strong. Also, I love all the instructors' laid back sense of humor combined with serious instruction. Love you guys!

Take this review how you want, just know that I have no reason to lie about this place. Johnny Buck…read more(main instructor/owner the way he explained it) makes fun of the mentally ill with a lot of maliciousness. 7 months into my BJJ journey and taking my training very seriously; I saw a student go up to Johnny and say (referring to one of the mentally Ill students who would train with us) "I was worried about hurting him" in which Johnny responded with "Oh no, they're really strong, they can handle a lot, and uh don't worry if you hurt em because they're not even human so..." Racism is prevalent here, don't be fooled by their kindness at first. Johnny used to call me mutt before I confronted him on that. There's plenty of cops that go to this gym so if the "leader" is encouraging making fun of mentally ill people and racism then you have a cycle that will continue throughout the community. This "gym" pushes a 12 month commitment for new members. They speak under their breath about you here if you don't submit to their culture or their way of thinking. It's almost like a cult in a way. The main reason why I wrote this review is because I felt it was my civic duty to let anybody who's innocently trying to learn self defense to protect others, are not taken advantage of like I was. My advice to new and potential future customers is to please stay away from that place but if you do want to check it out then I suggest you listen to your gut, stay true to who you are, and if you believe in God stay close to him because this guy and his ilk aren't good people. -Message to Johnny: What you teach is a perversion of what real humans naturally feel. Real humans have empathy. You don't.

I often do yoga exercises, but wanted to really challenge my core strength. The Advanced Pilates "fire" group class I took did just that. I let the instructor know before class that I endure a lot of pain from scoliosis and how certain exercises cause neck pain, and she provided safe and effective moves that left me feeling rejuvenated and without any pain. I've never felt that good after a chiropractic adjustment! I will definitely be going back.

The teachers are well seasoned and give clear cues so being new to the styles of yoga they teach isn't daunting. I've done hip hop, hip hop yoga, Buti yoga, and a gentle flow yoga and each of them have been classes I would love to take again. They have a motto that your vibe attracts your tribe and I would say their vibe is fun and welcoming. I felt like a regular attendee after my first class.

Anyway you wanna get down is there! The instructors are all very down to earth and sincere, allowing you to have a genuine connection with each of them in your practice. I personally enjoy getting my jam on to Buti Yoga, Buti Yoga Lite, and Old School Flow. Buti Yoga is this beautiful class that combines animal flowing style of yoga with banging beats that gets your heart rate up and really allows you to let loose. It honestly called out to me and while I'm in this class, the primal energy just zips right through! It's nice to really let everything go in such a positive setting, where no one is trying to outdo anyone else- we just join our powers for a bit like Captain Planet to become these Wonder Beings! There is a Lite class available if you want to get a better grip of it before taking a standard class. If you're a little hesitant, Buti Yoga Lite is perfect to get used to moving your body using the techniques of Buti but at a slower pace and with more queues. It's even more of a "coming together" experience as we all learn this new style of movement. Whichever route you go, I definitely encourage everyone to try a Buti class at least once! Finally, I did not realize how much I'd be digging that Old School Flow! Old school hip hop makes everything better anyway, but this class is a great mid week flow that lingers in each pose for a bit and really opens you up. She usually tosses in just a liiiiittle bit of core work for good measure, and if you specify that you'd like it, makes nice manual adjustments and mini massages in certain poses. Oh so good! Lots of exclamation marks, but that's just how much I love Primal Studios. They're prices are unbeatable and they usually run specials for newbies, so be sure to check them out!

Lucky for me, the other studio didn't call me back until after I booked 3 privates at Fusion. After my first session, I signed up for 2 more, for a total of 5 privates while I was in town. I've had a lot of private training and private pilates classes, and Amy is one of the best. Amy is compassionate, knowledgeable and a true teacher. She was mindful of my issues and gave me so many take-aways for me to use on my own. She also used some amazing heated props that helped loosen muscles and bring awareness to specific areas. My husband teased me that I would move to Asheville to continue working with Amy. Everyone should have this kind of training.

Book a class or a private session - I'm not being dramatic when I say it will change your life. Mat or equipment Pilates, even gyrotonic. Super cool place.

The studio is pretty small- really just one big room but cozy. The instructor was fun- educational and gave options for moving within comfort. They also offered a lot of supplies incase you don't have or forgot things ! I will say- I just felt like the class was very cramped and I didn't have enough space to actually do the stretches without having to worry about someone else's foot being near my head or dropping someone else's water bottle over. There's a chance that they may have just overbooked that class for the day since it was on a weekend but I do think they should probably limit it 10 (I think there was about 12-13 people today) but otherwise I'd definitely be back. This was a yoga class where I did movements that I don't usually do in many of my other classes. It's somewhat killed my knees, but at the same time, it was great to try out new things. I'd recommend bringing either a thicker mat or maybe little kneepads if you have crap knees like me!

Allison's class was great and I'd definitely come back to see her again. My second instructor might have been a little impatient with me because I was moving slow and the "class" was listed as 2 hours but after 30 minutes, she said I could go. I didn't love that but I still learned a lot and got a good sweat in. I recommend you try this yoga spot if you are visiting. I would come back again.
